i don't know this...  my 16V's lower inserts (what you call 'air
shrouded' buckets) don't have any holes in them.  they get snapped onto
a brass upper insert.  the upper insert has a little hole in it that
lines up with a passage that connects all of the inserts together.

why not try using air shrouded injectors along with the deep bucket
things?  then again, i have no idea if this would work, i'm just
brainstorming....
